    I cannot find Cozy installed in my Kubuntu 18.04 – no new entries in the menu, no new ‘cozy’ runnable in the console. So how it’s assumed to run it eh?

    2. Add flathub, the official repository hosts most Flatpak packages:
    flatpak remote-add –if-not-exists flathub ‘https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo’
